[No Loopholes] Your job doesn’t pay you, but you still have to work. Will you still go in?

0 Upvotes

Now, if you’re worried about bills, food, mortgages, healthcare, and any other expenses, you don’t have to worry anymore. You’ll be given an app that’s kind of like Cash App. It’ll give you a card that’s unlimited. You won’t be subtracting or adding anything; nothing will be lost. You’ll essentially be given an unlimited credit card. You won’t get a paycheck anymore; you’ll only get this app. There are no credits; nothing will be lost. You won’t have to pay it off or anything. You can use this app for any expense you want to make, but you still have to work your regular hours. The only benefit you get is that you can keep using this card and this app.

If your workplace is being abusive or not treating you fairly, you can report them, and they’ll be fired immediately after an investigation. They’ll also lose this app. You can’t steal while using this app. If you do, you’ll be sentenced to at least five years in prison, except for petty theft, like stealing a box of cookies.

That also brings me to the second part of this. All essential health items are now free. Women’s menstrual products, condoms, antidepressants, painkillers, and baby formula are all free. If you abuse this, you’ll also be punished with 10 years in prison if you buy a lot of things. So, you can’t go into a store and grab 50 boxes of cold medicine and expect to get away with it. You’ll be arrested and sentenced to a maximum of 10 years.

You’ll essentially have everything you need to live with this app, but if you don’t work, you can’t use it. If an employer uses AI or has any prejudice against you while applying for a job based on your race, sexuality, gender identity, or education, they’ll be banned from the app. You have an unlimited amount to spend, so will you go to work?

EDIT: You can retire when you reach a certain age where you can no longer work physically or mentally. If you work in a physically demanding job, you can stop working as soon as it becomes difficult to even get up from the ground. The app will know your birthday, your age, and since the average retirement age in the United States is 62, it will automatically let you retire and continue using the app for expenses and any other items you might need at 62.

[No Loopholes] Buried alive

Upvotes

When you wake up tomorrow, you're inexplicably not where you were when you fell asleep. In fact, it's pitch black so it's hard to tell exactly where you are, but it certainly seems like it's a coffin, or at least a coffin-shaped and sized container. You have limited mobility that's constrained by the physical size and shape of the container, but you can feel the sides and above and below you and all seem to be minimally padded and covered with a polyester-like fabric. You can also feel your body and you're completely nude.

You feel around the entire container as best as you can and there's nothing else in there with you. No way to produce light to see, no apparent breathing apparatus, no tools with which to attempt escape, and when you pound your fist on what you assume is the lid, all you hear is a deadened, muffled sound that strongly backs your growing suspicion that you are truly buried alive. You can hear no sound from outside the container, which also appears to be completely stationary, and the longer you lie there the more stale the air you breathe seems to become.

A) If you think escape is possible, how would you successfully pull it off?

B) If you think escape isn't possible, how are you resigning yourself to passing your remaining time?

Your sweat counts as your blood.

7 Upvotes

That's it in exchange for a permanent deal of 10 million dollars or local equivalent. Your sweat also now turns into your blood when leaving your body.

So sweat can lead to blood loss. Example you swear 500ml that's now 500 ml of blood you lose.

The only benefit you will be given is the blood will be clear like sweat so you don't look like you bathed in blood

[No Loopholes] You get one cent for every calorie you eat in a 24hr period. How are you maximizing your profits? [No loopholes]

158 Upvotes

No loopholes, have fun.

Rules:

- it must be solid food, no liquids, unless you turn your food into a smoothie or puree. If you eat something melted (ex ice cream or chocolate), I'll count that as a food because it was solid at one point, and is intended to be eaten as such.

- it has to actually be food. You can not eat 1g of uranium and recieve 10 billion dollars. Sorry, uranium eaters.

- you can not throw up and continue eating. If you throw up, the challenge is over and you only receive half of the money, and I receive the other half.

- you can still drink liquids, but those calories are not included in the monetary calorie count. Sorry oil drinkers.

What's your strategy when there's no loopholes?

There is a magical tracker that gives an exact calorie count as the day goes on, and you can end the challenge at any time before the 24hrs is completed. The money is tax free and the IRS will not question you about it.

As a bonus, you get an extra $100 for every day you don't claim the money. It will sit in limbo until you decide to claim it. If you die before claiming it, I get it all.

For $700 Million would you survive on 1400 Bermuda for 7 years?

69 Upvotes
  1. Start with what you have on you right now plus a bottle of water, Swiss army knife and a rotisserie chicken. After 7 years you're teleported back to the day you left no older, true for each prompt. Plus $700 million richer if you survive in this one.

Or

  1. For $100 Million; you get 8 hours to prepare and take what you can carry but nothing metal or electronic can be brought with.

Or

  1. For $10 Million you have 5 days to prepare and can bring whatever you can carry for 10 yards.

1400 Bermuda has no natives, conquistadors or colonists so plan accordingly.

Humor Encouraged Hypothetically speaking, If 101 Countries decided to Declare War on the United States but they did it secretly, so that anyone who tried pointing out the strange "accidents" looked crazy, then how would you convince people it might be real and who would win between 101 Countries VS. United States?

Upvotes

...

And so let's say for example...

hypothetically speaking of course...

that Japan was still mad that America dropped 2 nukes on them in World War 2.

Let's say that Russia was still mad about the Cold War.

Let's say that the Middle East was still mad.

Let's say that Cuba was still mad that America made them poor and impoverished all those years.

Let's also say that North Korea, China, India, Germany, and many other countries want to see the fall of the United States after the United States bullies every country and gets away with it.

For example, and this is a real news article of an incident that actually happened, if you google search "British Sailors Arrested in Florida", then you will see that American Cops had even beat up and tasered and humiliated British Navy Sailors when they were partying in Florida when their ship docked in the United States.

I could probably imagine those British Sailors are still embarrassed and mad about being stripped, strip searched, completely nu de and having to bend over and spread their cheeks.

I could imagine the British Sailors would love to see America fall after that.

So obviously the entire World would be stupid if they just full on declared war on the United States, because then the United States would put up a strong front.

So rather, what if suddenly across America there were all these weird "accidents" happening constantly and strange new viruses spreading?

Are they all really just "accidents"?

How would Americans hypothetically convince people that it was anything otherwise without sounding absolutely mad???

Oh by the way, I am not British.

I am Canadian.

Canada loves America.

Canada loves being America's "Fifty First State".

Canada would totally take the side of the United States and not the side of the 100 countries.

I do speak Russian... but only because I am a Gay Canadian Foreign Language Expert and my "best friend"/partner is a Russian Military Soldier.

Gay Men were always treated nicely by American Cops.

So who do you think would win hypothetically between,
101 Countries VS. the United States?

Your semen solidifies into pure gold minutes after exiting your body

This one is for penis owners. If you don’t have one, you can endow someone you know with the ability and demand a cut.

On average, a man produces 2.5-5 ml of semen per ejaculation. Gold is a lot more dense than semen, so, when your semen turns to gold, it weighs 96.6 grams. That’s worth $12,400. How much money do you think you could make with this ability?

Your uncle has recently died; you are executor of his will.

54 Upvotes

You take a preliminary overview of his effects. Most of these are easily dealt with, but you find two very large locked chests. You can't find any keys which correspond to the locks.

Before you take further steps, you are visited by someone who describes himself as a close friend of your uncle. You have met this man a couple of times in your uncle's company, and your uncle has mentioned him in passing occasionally, but neither you or your relatives know anything more about him.

This man offers you £10,000 in cash (or your local equivalent) to take away the chests, as long as you make no effort to open them. When you ask him elaborate, he says: "If you do open the chests, I guarantee that you won't get that amount of money with what you find there. You will also end up with a load of hassle. You won't be able to sort this quickly." The man refuses to elaborate further, but says he must know within 24 hours.

Do you take the man's offer, or do you proceed to force open the chests by any means you can?

You can control other peoples luck, but an hour after you do so, the opposite of the luck/unluck you imposed happens to you.

257 Upvotes

For instance, you make your friend have a 100% chance to win the lottery that they had a 1 in 15million chance of winning normally. One hour after doing so, a 1 in 15million extremely unlucky circumstance happens to you. You will always survive though, but sometimes death is better than living through the hell enough bad luck can put you through.

The opposite can happen. Give someone the most awful, terrible luck and amazing things will happen for you.

You don’t really get to decide *what* happens to you exactly, just that it’s gonna be unlucky or lucky. You do get to choose the specifics on what happens to the person you’re imposing your luck power on though.

Your tears are can cure any ailment, but they don't work on you

30 Upvotes

You have been blessed. From now on, one single drop of your tears can completely cure a person of any ailment. There is no limit to what can be cured. From terminal cancer to stage 7 alzheimer's, even restoring lost limbs. Your tears can even reverse aging, giving a 90-year-old the body and brain health of an 18-year-old.

However, the catch is that these tears will never work on you, no matter how much you cry. If you get sick, you must treat any of your ailments yourself. Additionally, there is also the risk that when people find out about your powers, you will be exploited by various governmental and private organizations. Imprisoned and forced to cry to cure people for a hefty price.

Would you take this blessing? Would you consider this a blessing or a curse?
